The Metropol Parasol In Seville

The Metropol Parasol in Seville,  must be one of the worst pieces of architecture and design, I’ve ever seen.

I was also told by a couple, I met beside it, that when it’s hot in summer, the market underneath is not a pleasant place to be.

I should think too, that being made of wood and glue, it could be a bit of a fire risk.

Apparently, though, it was built by a retiring mayor, who wanted to leave his mark on the city. Ken, Boris and the other UK mayors, may have big egos, but I can’t think of any legacy of a mayor, that wasn’t received positively.
